Eat Less, Get More
Need another reason to go organic? How about getting more disease-fighting nutrients per calorie?
The Organic Center recently evaluated the nutritional quality of organic foods versus those grown conventionally. In their review of 97 studies, the researchers found that organic, plant-based foods contain higher levels of 11 nutrients. That includes significantly greater concentrations of health-promoting polyphenols and antioxidants.
What’s more, organically grown plant-based foods turned out to be 25 percent more nutrient dense. Which means you get more nutrition per serving or calories consumed.
So eat less and get more by choosing organic produce. Your body and our earth will thank you.
